Recorded hosts include Alnusjaponica, Pyruspyrifolia, species of Fagaceae, and rarely Keteleeriaevelyniana.

Barlow (Fl. Malesiana, Ser. 1, Spermatoph. 13: 355. 1997) regarded this species as synonymous with Loranthusodoratus Wallich, but the illustration and description suggest that the plant he studied was not the same as the Chinese material, differing in particular by the long, solitary inflorescence.
